A host of national parliaments are set to vote on Greece's new rescue deal
before August 20. Here's our guide to who is doing what, and when

Estonia

The Baltic nation has called an extraordinary session of its parliament to vote on Greece's deal later on Tuesday.

In a sign of the resistance some Estonian MPs have shown to providing more cash to rescue Greece, the country's EU affairs committee has already voted to reject a new bridging loan in case the bail-out can't be secured before August 20 (when Greece needs to pay back €3.3bn to the ECB).

Estonia is the only member of the bloc of small Baltic and Balkan states (including Slovakia, Slovenia and Latvia) that is required to provide parliamentary backing for the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) programme, which is good news for Athens.

The euro's newest members have undergone years of painful austerity in a bid to boost their competitiveness and aren't in the mood for providing more leeway for Athens to shirk its commitments to reform.

Germany

The biggest contributor to the ESM, Germany's Bundestag will begin its formal vote and debate on Wednesday. Chancellor Angela Merkel has been forced to postpone international trips to Brazil and Italy in a bid to convince her sceptical Christian Democrat MPs to get behind the aid package.

Sixty of them voted to reject restarting talks over a new deal last month, and the rebellion is set to escalate, according to Michael Fuchs, deputy party chairman, who has said that even he remains undecided on which way to vote.

Of Ms Merkel's 311 parliamentarians, estimates suggest a maximum of 100 could vote 'No' - the biggest rebellion in her 10 years office. However, the insurrection is still not likely to be enough to derail the bail-out and should pass on the backing of the Social Democrats.

Austria

Austrian parliamentarians could be required to pass the rescue deal should a sub-committee of 18 MPs who are voting on Tuesday in Vienna fail to reach an agreement.

Spain

Spain is not constitutionally required to ratify eurozone bail-outs through its parliament. But given the sensitivity of events in Athens and their likely ramifications for Madrid (national elections are due by the end of the year) Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has convened a parliamentary debate on the package on Tuesday.

Portugal

Portugal is another member of the southern eurozone facing a general election in October. The conservative Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho, who will vote in favour of the package, is having to fight off the threat of the anti-austerity Socialist party. They've promised to row back on Troika diktats four years after Portugal was bailed out by international lenders to the tune of €72bn.

Lisbon's parliament has yet to set a formal date for its parliamentary vote but it must come before Thursday's ECB repayment.

Netherlands

The Dutch are set to hold a parliamentary vote on Wednesday. The government is not constitutionally required to pass the bill through parliament, but embattled Prime Minister Mark Rutte has long been fighting off eurosceptics in the Hague who have accused him of betraying his promise to Dutch voters. Geert Wilders, leader of PVV, has threatened to put forward a motion of no confidence in Mr Rutte's government over the deal.
